Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a device for reading and a method and a device for recording files on a sequential medium as well as the sequential medium itself. In order to enable the use of sequential write-once mediums according to the invention the file system descriptor pointing to a current version of a management information area is recorded on a reserved track being located at the beginning of the volume. Thereby, the management information area is recorded at a location behind files being recorded onto the volume.
Description
- The invention relates to the recording and reading of files on a sequential medium including recording or reading of a management information area storing data structures that are used for volume and file management and recording or reading files onto the volume. Furthermore, the invention relates to a sequential medium comprising such a management information area and a volume containing files.
- Known optical digital video recording discs consist of a lead-in, a data and a lead-out area. A drive presents the data area to the file system. In general, a file system uses part of the data area for its own administration purposes and presents the remainder in some suitable way, using partitions, as a so-called logical volume, i.e., a logical contiguous address space to an application. Typically a file system uses an anchor descriptor at so-called anchor points to find a reference to its management information area for volume structure.
- JAFS (Joint Approach File System) is a volume and file management system intended to be used for both AV (Audio and Video) and computer applications. Most of the existing volume and file management systems are designed to be used only for computer applications, therefore they lack the functions necessary for AV applications such as real time data reading and writing, or file dividing and combining without data movement. JAFS is designed to enable implementation of the above and other functions usefull for AV applications in an effective manner.
- The JAFS file system is defined for a randomly rewritable medium. Due to this definition problems occur, when using a sequential write-once medium.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a definition of such a file system that also works for a sequential write-once medium.
- This object is achieved by providing a method for recording files as set forth in
claim 1, a method for reading files as set forth inclaim 7, a device for recording files as set forth inclaim 8, a device for reading files as set forth inclaim 9, and a sequential medium as set forth inclaim 10. - The invention enables to modify, in particular add or remove, files on a sequential, in particular write-once, medium such as a DVR-R (digital video recorder-recordable) medium. Thereby, the management information area needs to be updated by writing a new version of the management information area. As the data already recorded on the medium cannot be rewritten in a sequential write-once medium the management information area has to be written as a new version at the end of files or data, such as management information area data already recorded on the medium.
- Thus, new files added to the existing files are being registered in a new version of the management information area. Accordingly, removed files are no longer registered in the current management information area, thus appearing to be deleted, even though the data of these removed files is still on the medium.
- As the management information area according to the present invention is located at the end of the files recorded on the medium, it is a problem to quickly find the current version of the management information area. However, a file system descriptor being located somewhere after the lead-in, i.e. at the beginning of the data track between the lead-in and lead-out area, points to the management information area. Thus, the management information area can be accessed rapidly.
- The file system descriptor is written in a reserved track that is located somewhere after the region of a lead-in area, i.e. near by the beginning of the medium. Thus, the file system descriptor maybe accessed instantaneously. As the file system descriptor is written in a reserved track having a capacity, in particular in terms of bytes, being much larger than the file system descriptor itself, new file system descriptors may be written in the reserved track in order to specify the current location of the management information area.
- Embodiments and modifications may be taken from the sub-claims and will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- FIG. 1 shows a diagram of a data system of an optical DVR disc according to the prior art JAFS specification;
- FIG. 2 shows a data system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention;
- FIG. 3 shows an anchor descriptor;
- FIG. 4 shows a schematical diagram of an device for recording and/or reading files on an optical DVR disc.
- The following definitions are used in connection with the present invention:
- The term “medium”0 defines means on which data is recorded.
- The term “management information area” or MIA is a set of physical or logical sectors of which the sector numbers are consecutive. It is used to record data structures in units of physical or logical sectors. Data structures that are used for volume and file management are stored in the management information area. Various pieces of information about a volume are recorded in a management information area.
- Preferably, in order to assure reliability, two management information areas for volume structure, in which two identical sets of information are recorded, shall be recorded on a physical volume. These are referred to as the main management information area for volume structure and the reserve management information area for volume structure.
- The term “partition” represents a collection of physical sectors with continuous physical sector numbers in a physical volume.
- The term “logical volume” is defined as a sequence of partitions. A logical volume may have partitions on different physical volumes. Thus, a logical volume may be constructed from partitions belonging to different physical volumes.
- The term “descriptor” specifies the starting address and size of the main anchor or the reserve management information area and the location of the management information area map in the main and the reserve management information area. The locations where other anchor descriptor can be recorded are referred to as the anchor points.
- FIG. 1 shows a diagram of an optical digital
video recording disc 1 consisting of a lead-inarea 2, adata area 3, and a lead-out area 4. A drive (not shown) presents thedata area 3 to a file system. The file system uses ananchor descriptor 5 at a so-calledanchor point 6 to find a reference to itsmanagement information area 7 for file structure. Themanagement information area 7 stores information about the data structure in alogical volume 8. Afurther anchor descriptor 9 is located at afurther anchor point 10 near by the lead-out area 4. - The data structure as shown in FIG. 1 may not be modified in terms of adding or removing files in case of using a sequential write-once medium, as a recordable, but only, when using a randomly rewritable medium. If files are modified, in particular added, removed, divided, or combined, the
management information area 7 needs to be updated. However, this is not possible when using the structure shown in FIG. 1 in combination with a sequential write-once medium. - FIG. 2 shows the structure of an optical digital video recording disc according to the invention. Similar to FIG. 1, a
data area 11 is located between a lead-inarea 12 and a lead-outarea 13. - However, contrary to FIG. 1, a management information area is not located near by the lead-in
area 12. Moreover, areserved track 14 is located near by the lead-inarea 12 being found by ananchor descriptor 15 at ananchor point 16. In particular, the reserved track is located at the beginning of the logical volume. - The
reserved track 14 contains asequence 17 of file system descriptors (FSD) 18, 19. - A first
file system descriptor 18 points to a firstmanagement information area 20 belonging tosession 1. However, since a further session has been created, namelysession 2, a secondfile system descriptor 19 has been recorded in thereserved track 14 pointing to a secondmanagement information area 21, namely according to the embodiment of FIG. 2 the current management information area. - Even though the first
management information area 20 is still physically on the disc, this firstmanagement information area 20 is no longer valid due to the creation of the secondmanagement information area 21. Thus, e.g. files contained insession 1 may have been removed logically, even though they still physically exist on the disc. However, they cannot be accessed any longer. Files added duringsession 2 are located between the firstmanagement information area 20 and the secondmanagement information area 21. - If the subsequent session is being created this is done by recording a new management information area located behind the files being added during the subsequent session, that are being recorded behind the preceding management information area. However, if no files have been added but some files from the preceding session have been removed or renamed, a new management information area is recorded adjacent to the preceding management information area, i.e. at a location behind the preceding management information area. However, in any case the management information area is recorded at the end of a session.
- Every time a new management information area is recorded, a further file system descriptor is added to the sequence of file system descriptors in the reserved track. The latest file system descriptor is pointing to the current version of the management information area.
- FIG. 3 shows a proposed anchor descriptor as being recorded at an anchor point, including a signature, a file system type, a reserved data block, a start address of logical volume, a length of logical volume, a start address of file system descriptor sequence, and a length of file system descriptor sequence.
- The start address of the logical volume is a physical address. The length of the logical volume is in physical sectors. The start address of the file system descriptor sequence is a logical address. The length of the file system descriptor sequence is in logical sectors.
- If the file system type is random access, the file system descriptor sequence consists of one file system descriptor. However, if the file system type is sequential, all file system descriptors in a file system descriptor sequence shall be aligned at error correction code blocks and the file system descriptor sequence shall be terminated by an unrecorded block.
- An example is given in order to illustrate this situation of file system descriptors in more detail:
- Assumed is a 24 GB digital video recording recordable disc (DVR-R disc). If one wants to add in increments of five minutes audio/video data at a bit rate of 4 Mbits (=150 MB), then 24 GB/150 MB=160
file system descriptors - If the number of increments shall not be limited, the pointer descriptor to the next file system descriptor sequence is defined, thus preferably resulting in more than one file system descriptor sequences on one disc or medium.
- Preferably, for robustness reasons, a separate reserve file system descriptor sequence is added.
- FIG. 4 shows a schematical diagram of a device for recording and/or reading files on an optical DVR disc, the device including a drive means22, e.g. an electrical motor for driving the
optical DVR disc 1. The drive means 22 is connected to a microprocessor 23 by means of anelectrical cable 24. The microprocessor is connected withmeans 25 for reading and/or recording files on the optical DVR disc by means of adata bus 26. - The microprocessor23 is programmed in order to cause in a recording mode the
means 25 to record amanagement information area file system descriptor management information area 21 onto the reservedtrack 14 at a location at the beginning of the volume. - Furthermore, the device is programmed in order to cause in a reading mode the
means 25 to read the reservedtrack 14 containing thefile system descriptor management information area file system descriptor management information area 21. - Summarized the main idea of the invention is to start a sequential medium with a reserved track that contains a file system descriptor pointing to the current management information area being located at the end of the latest session thus enabling access to files added and not being removed during the current session and during previous sessions. As the current management information area contains the information to access files, files that are not registered in the current management information area are excluded from the current session, thus appearing to be deleted.
- The invention may be embodied in terms of a method for reading and a method for recording data on a medium according to the described data structure as well as in terms of corresponding devices for reading or recording data of that structure, i.e. for carrying out said methods.
- Furthermore, a data carrier or medium recorded by such a method or by such a device is a product according to the invention. It may be read by a method or device for reading such data structure. Therefore, protection is sought according to the independent claims.
